Background
|phantom haptic device
Produces 3dof force feedback
The goal is to design a torque feedback
equipment for virtual acupuncture training.
The hardware will be installed on a
phantom haptic device, adding additional
torque feedback and rotational freedom
for user.
After the user inserts the endpoint (needle)
into the tissue in the virtual environment.
The program will calculate the feedback
torque according to the depth of insertion,
the rotation speed and the characteristics
of the virtual tissue, and feed it back to
the user to produce an operating
experience close to the real environment.
